Galactic Season 8 “Rising Powers”
Kai Zykken reaches out offering an opportunity to try out Czerka’s new Experimental Combat Enhancers. In order to test the effectiveness of these seasonal items, players will be guided to jump back into Uprisings content.
We will be opening up Uprisings to all players and make them available at level 10.
Upon consuming the Experimental Combat Enhancer, players will receive one of three available buffs that will help them decimate their enemies as they complete Uprisings objectives:
- Destruction Overload Buff - Every 5th enemy that is defeated will explode causing a damaging AOE effect
- Czerka Combat Drones Buff - Drones will assist you in taking your enemies down!
- Unstable Radiation Field Buff - A devastating point blank AOE
A word of caution. The combat enhancers may also give your enemies a buff as well, so stay sharp!

- Improving textures on vibrant colored species such as Chiss
Other initiatives we are tackling in addition to the above include:
- Improved lighting for characters in gameplay to better match what’s seen in cinematics
